Zug, Switzerland, March 16, 2022 – EuroChem Group AG, a leading global fertilizer producer, announces that Vladimir Rashevskiy has resigned as Chief Executive Officer, effective March 15, 2022.

The European Union on Tuesday extended sanctions to Mr. Rashevskiy and 14 other prominent business figures from Russia.

Announcements on new appointments will be made in due course.

EuroChem’s commitment to its thousands of employees and customers worldwide remains steadfast.
